Following months of launching the WX series smartphones in the Nigerian market, Tecno is back with two new devices which they claim is targeted at the youths and social media enthusiasts — Tecno Spark & Tecno Spark Plus.

Both of the device come with decent specifications and it’s expected to launch this August 2017.
Here are the full details about the both devices.

Tecno Spark (known as Tecno K7) is a low end device that is scheduled to be launched this August. It comes with a fair use decent spec. 5.5-inch display device in a metal unibody, 1GB Ram, 16GB internal memory and will run Android 7 Nougat OS out of the box with Tecno very own HIOS.

The cameras
on the device are also modest. With the front facing shooter having
around 5 million pixels accompanied by its dedicated flashlight for low
light conditions, taking selfies should be effortless. The rear camera
is a 13MP shooter also accompanied by an LED flash.
